It actually does.

And it’s the sure sign of a gibbering lunatic when they boast about doing this.

Let’s see. The Mac hardware platform is based around a collection of (more or less) high-end hardware that Apple selects for two reasons and two reasons only:

• If you limit the choice of components, it makes it easier to concentrate on getting your OS (OSX) to do neat stuff rather than just supporting drivers.
• Oh, and Apple makes a healthy margin on the outrageous mark-up. And why not, if you can do it?

I haven’t tried it, but I could probably source equivalent components to a Mac for around 75% of the sticker price. Even after discounting for OSX.

And these idiots take what — warning, warning, car analogy — is essentially a Ford Cobra, remove the engine, and dump a diesel from a F150 truck into its place? Actually, that’s a rotten analogy, because the diesel engine would work, in a sputtery sort of way.

And then they boast about it? They are sad and twisted perverts.
